Warm glass of spiced sorrel on a wooden table with spices

On a chilly winter evening in Brooklyn, there is no comfort quite like a warm glass of spiced sorrel, reminiscent of the homemade recipe grandma used to make. At Sorrel City, we are dedicated to preserving this traditional Jamaican drink, made with the finest hibiscus and a blend of warming spices, including cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, in the perfect ratio to evoke the warmth and comfort of the Caribbean.

A Family Tradition

For many of us, the smell of sorrel is synonymous with the holiday season, particularly around Christmas and New Year's Day, when families gather to share stories and warm up with a cup of this soothing drink. Sorrel City's hand-bottled sorrel is made with love and care, just like grandma used to make, using a secret blend of spices and a 3:1 ratio of hibiscus to sugar, which gives our sorrel its distinctive flavor and aroma.

According to some, the warm, spicy flavor of sorrel is often associated with a sense of comfort and relaxation, making it the perfect drink to enjoy during the cold winter months. Researchers have studied the potential benefits of hibiscus, which is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants and is traditionally believed to have a soothing effect on the body. While the exact benefits are still being explored, one thing is certain - a warm glass of sorrel is the perfect way to unwind after a long day, especially when paired with a good book or a warm fire.
